Names From Dishonored

Dishonored is a stealth action adventure game. It is set in the fictional, plague-ridden industrial city of Dunwall and follows Corvo Attano, the Empress’s legendary bodyguard. He is framed for her murder and forced to become an assassin, seeking revenge on those who conspired against him.

The design of the city is inspired by London and Edinburgh in late 1800s to early 1900s. Because of this there is an interesting collection of names worn by the characters. Many of which have become new favorites.
